Hekurudha Shqiptare

Hekurudha Shqiptare or HSH (Albanian Railways) is Albania's state-owned operator of the Albanian Railway System. The network's main terminal is the Durrës Railway Station in the port city of Durrës. HSH's infrastructure runs east to Pogradec (up to Librazhd as of 2012), south to Vlorë and north to Shkodër. There is also a branch line to the capital Tirana (up to Kashar, 10 km away as of 2015). The network was extended beyond Shkodër in the 1980s into what is now Montenegro, via the Albanian border town of Hani i Hotit. But this section of the system is for freight only. There is also no physical rail connection between Albania and neighbouring Macedonia or Greece. Albanian Railways has been described by many travel guides as a tourist attraction and a de facto panoramic journey.
